comencement

Yesterday was graduation. I never look forward to going. It’s the end of the year and I am tired. Each year I grudgingly iron my robe and hood, dig around for my tassel and grouse about having to give up a Sunday, Bah Humbug.

In the end, however it is good. We follow the marshals into the gym-in full regalia-and surround the students. We yell, clap and hold them in our hearts one last time.…and they commence.
